8.2.2. Check of system of ignition

THE GENERAL DATA

---

The prevention

At work on system of ignition it is necessary to be careful with the included ignition, as it is possible to receive blow by a current from a high-voltage part of system of ignition. People with stimulators of warm activity are not recommended to check and make repair of system of ignition. Switch off ignition before a detachment or connection of any element of system of ignition or probeов the measuring device.

---

The basic malfunctions of system of ignition are caused by easing or oxidation of contacts, or short circuit on weight of a high voltage because of pollution, humidity or damage of isolation of high-voltage wires. Before drawing a conclusion on malfunction of any element in ignition system, check up a condition of wires or electric chains of system of ignition.

It is not recommended to check spark presence, keeping a high-voltage wire on small distance from the engine as thus it is possible to receive blow by an electric current or to put out of action the block of management of ignition. Also it is not recommended to define admissions of ignition by a method of consecutive removal of high-voltage wires from spark plugs.

THE ENGINE IS NOT STARTED

PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. If at engine start the cranked shaft of the engine is not turned or turned very slowly, check up a condition and a gymnastics of the accumulator and a starter. 2. Connect probeы the voltmeter to plugs of the accumulator and disconnect the central high-voltage wire from a cover of the distributor of ignition and connect it to weight. 3. Include a starter no more than for 10 seconds, and measure pressure on the accumulator. 4. If at work of a starter pressure becomes less, than 9,5 In, check up an accumulator condition, a starter and gymnastics system. 5. If at engine start the cranked shaft rotates with normal speed, using a stroboscope, check up a high-voltage part of system of ignition. 6. If at start of the engine the stroboscope blinks, means, the high voltage moves to spark plugs and it is necessary to check up a condition candles ignitions. 7. If the stroboscope does not blink, check up the central high-voltage wire going from the coil of ignition to a cover of the distributor, coal contact and a distributor rotor. 8. If the spark is present, check up a condition and working capacity of fuel system. 9. If the spark still has not appeared, probably, the block management of ignition is faulty and in this case it is necessary to address on servicing deport of cars.

IGNITION ADMISSIONS

Unsystematic admissions of ignition can be caused the weakened contacts or chain rupture in a control system of ignition or in a chain of a primary winding of the coil of ignition or damage of high-voltage wires.

PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. Switch off ignition and check up that contacts on electric sockets of system of ignition pure and without corrosion traces. 2. Check up that the ignition coil, a cover of the distributor of ignition and high-voltage wires, pure and dry. 3. Check up a condition of electric wires of spark plugs. 4. Then check up a cover of the distributor of ignition, coal contact and a rotor of the distributor of ignition. 5. Check of spark plugs can be made serial replacement of spark plugs by the new. 6. Constant admissions of ignition are caused, most likely, by defects in a cover of the distributor of ignition, the coil of ignition, high-voltage wires or spark plugs. 7. For check of giving of a high voltage to spark plugs it is possible to use a stroboscope. 8. Absence of pressure only on one high-voltage wire testifies to damage of this wire or a cover of the distributor of ignition. 9. If pressure is present on all high-voltage wires, means, spark plugs are faulty. 10. At a high voltage total absence check up a secondary winding of the coil of ignition which can be damaged. 11. If at ignition system there are malfunctions which cannot be eliminated independently, it is necessary to address on servicing deport.
